If you're credentialed in another state and want to see patients who are physically in Colorado over telehealth, Colorado now has a registration path for you. C.R.S. § 12-30-124, added by SB 24-141, applies on and after January 1, 2026. One of its conditions is that you designate an agent in Colorado who can be served with process, using a form from the Division of Professions and Occupations.

CO Registered Agent.org can be that agent for $99 a year.

Registration Checklist

Item	Colorado's rule
Who applies	An individual who performs health care services in another state
Where	The regulator for your profession, on the division's application form
Fee	The amount the division sets
Credential	Active and unencumbered, held outside Colorado, and at least as demanding as Colorado's on education and supervision
Discipline	None limiting, suspending or revoking that credential in the prior five years (with an exception for conduct Colorado law allows)
Exam	Colorado's jurisprudence exam, where the comparable credential calls for it
Agent	Your designated agent for service of process in Colorado, on the division's form
Coverage	The financial responsibility your regulator requires for care to Colorado patients

What a Registered Provider Must Do

Practice to Colorado's standards. The same rules as in-person care apply, from prescribing and identity verification to informed consent, records and privacy.
Disclose your location. Tell each patient where you are and that you have no physical location in Colorado.
Plan for emergencies. Keep a written emergency protocol, stay connected during an emergency on a live session until help arrives or the situation resolves, and maintain a list of nearby hospitals, urgent care and crisis services where the patient lives.
Report within five business days. New restrictions on your credential, discipline taken or pending anywhere, and malpractice judgments, settlements or arbitration awards paid for you.
Stay remote. No Colorado office and no in-person care here without the full Colorado credential.
No controlled substances. A registered provider can't prescribe them.

The registration renews, expires and can be reinstated under Colorado's general rules for regulated professions (C.R.S. § 12-20-202).

Where the Agent Comes In

Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.

Your designated agent is the Colorado address where a lawsuit, subpoena or regulator's notice about your telehealth work gets delivered. Since registered providers can't keep an office in Colorado, that designation is often the only Colorado address tied to you.

What CO Registered Agent.org provides:

A Colorado address for the division's agent designation form
Same-day scanning of legal service at no extra charge
Additional documents scanned at $15 each, with postage only if you ask for a paper original

Ordering as an individual clinician? In the checkout's entity type list, pick Other: "Sole proprietor or trust." That opens the service in your own name, which fits a registration that belongs to you, not to a business.

How to Get Registered

Check that you qualify: credential, five-year history and any jurisprudence exam.
Name your Colorado agent before you complete the division's forms.
Confirm your coverage meets your regulator's financial responsibility rules.
Apply to your regulator and pay the division's fee.
Set up your disclosures and emergency protocol before your first Colorado patient.

FAQ

Does registering my clinicians register my company?

No. This section covers individual providers. A business entity operating in Colorado files separately with the Secretary of State; see foreign registration in Colorado.

Is Colorado's registration permanent?

No. It's subject to renewal and expiration under C.R.S. § 12-20-202, like other Colorado professional credentials.

Can a registered provider prescribe?

Prescribing follows Colorado's rules for your profession, but controlled substances are off-limits under this registration.
